Method 0.025 ml of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (Boehringer Mannheim) were diluted up to 10 ml with distilled water (solution I), 100 mg of nicotinamideadenine-dinucleotide-phosphate were dissolved in 13 ml of distilled water (solution II). 47.2 mg of glucose-610 phosphate were dissolved in 10 ml of distilled water (solution III). Simultaneously a buffer solution (solution IV) was prepared as follows: 0.28 g of triethanolamine hydrochloride and 1.461 g of disodium ethylene diaminotetraacetate were dissolved in 1 1 of distilled water and the solution obtained was adjusted to a pH of 7.6 with sodium hydroxide solution.

The resultant solution was mixed and the change in extinction was measured spectrophotometrically at 366 nm for 3 minutes.
The inhibitory values were calculated from the average values of three measurements (change in extinction per minute) compared with controls, in which pure solvents was used as the inhibitory solution.

The test compound was dissolved in a fixed quantity of dimethylsulfoxide and then diluted to the desired concentration tiith growth medium. 0.1 ml of each test 4482o compound solution were added to a well of microtiter plates and then 0.2 ml of cell suspension were added (4 wells per dilution). Several growth controls containing 0.1 ml of growth medium instead of 0.1 ml of test compound solution were also set up. After careful mixing, the cultures were incubated at 37°C for 3 days in a 57. carbon dioxide atmosphere. Readings were effected in comparison with these controls. The results are given as percentage deficiency and degeneration compared to the growth control.
The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined from these results and the was calculated according to Reed and Muench. The values refer to pg of test compound per ml of total medium.
The results are recorded in the following Tables Table 4 Substance Minimum inhibitory concentration Ug/mlED50 Ug/ml A 3.13 12.5 B 6.25 9.75 D 25 90.1 E 0.78 5.81 V e 0.78 1.5 F 0.78 7.7 G 0.78 5.8 H σ 0.78 4.2 K 0.78 2.27 N 3.13 5.32 P 1.56 3.52 S 0.78 3.8 The test compounds are chemically stable, show a good lipophilic behaviour*· (distribution-coefficient n-octanol/water 5 > 1000) and may be incorporated into ointments, creams, tinctures, sprays, powders etc., which are suitable for topical application.
The good compatibility on the skin (a cream containing 10% of compound E was tolerated without irritation for over 24 hours under occlusion) and the low toxicity are of special advantage.
The acute toxicity was determined in mice. The LD 4482ο i.e. the dose leading to death of 50% of the animals within 14 days, was calculated.
LD_q in the mouse: Compound E p.o. 3,200 mg/kg s.c. 4,000 mg/kg i.p. 82 mg/kg Compound Q p.o. 4,000 mg/kg s.c. 2,000 mg/kg i.p. 400 mg/kg In general pharmacological screening of the test compounds, which screening indicates any influence on essential body functions, e.g. heart/circulation or central nervous system, no significant effects were shown. Systemic side-effects would not, therefore, be expected when these compounds are topically applied.
Because of their good lipophilic behaviour, whilst still having polar groups, the compounds of general formula I penetrate well into the skin. However, they are only resorbed to a small extent as may be shown by analysis of excretion.
SO Examination of the compatibility on the skin and sensitization, carried out with guinea pigs, showed that the weakly sensitizing properties of some known resorcins disappear on the introduction of the trifluoroacetyl group. As resorcins such as hexyl-resorcinol have, in some cases caused allergies in man, this is of considerable advantage.
At present an effective therapy for acne is only possible systemically with strong antibiotics (tetracyclin, erythromycin) and topically with peeling agents such as vitamin A acid and benzoyl peroxide. The use of antibiotics for a disease wfiich itself does not endanger life is in principle undesirable because of resistance formation, whilst the use of peeling agents leads to considerable irritation of the skin.
In acne therapy using antibiotics, the population of gram-positive bacteria responsible for acne and particularly Corynebacterium acnes, is reduced, which leads to a reduction in the free fatty acid content in the sebum,these fatty acids being formed on the splitting of triglycerides by such bacteria. 44830 As shown in Table 1, the test compounds according to the invention are strongly active against Corynebacterium acnes. In addition, it may be shown that, after topical application,a considerable reduction in the free fatty I acid content takes place. Thus, a topical therapy may be ι applied, which may be compared in effectiveness with an oral I therapy using antibiotics.
The exact cause of dandruff formation is still unknown. However, a hyperkeratosis may be found with dandruff, i.e. mitosis in the epidermis is accelerated; additionally the hyperkeratosis is disturbed. According to the statements of some authors, e.g. R.A. Gosse, R.W. VanderWyck, J. Soc. Cosmet, Chem. 20, 603 (1969), the yeast Pityrosporum ovale plays a role in the genesis of dandruff.
Table 2 shows that a number of the test compounds according to the invention have a strong effect against Pityrosporum ovale. It may be seen in Tables 3 and 4 that these and other compounds can delay accelerated processes of mitosis. Thus, a therapy for dandruff is possible using compounds showing a good activity in Tables 2, 3 and 4.
At present an effective therapy for psoriasis is only possible topically with dithranol, tar preparations and highly active corticoides and systemically with antimetabolites such as methothrexate, corticosteroids and cytostatics.
Additionally, physical treatment with UV light and X-rays and the combined application of psoralens (systemically and topically) and UV light are used. All these treatment methods are either circumstantial or accompanied by considerable side-effects. Therefore, the discovery of a simple effective topical therapy would be of considerable advantage, Tables 3 and 4 show that some of the test compounds according tojfche invention may be used in psoriasis therapy.
Mycoses of the skin are becoming more frequent. As the kind of microorganism causing an irritation often cannot be determined, the application of broad spectrum antimycotics against dermatophytes, yeasts and bacteria is of special advantage.
Tablfes 1.and 2 show that the test compounds according to the invention are strongly active against these micro20 organisms and may, therefore, be used in therapy of mycoses and bacterial skin infections.
